Human development in Pakistan is marked by sharp gender disparities. YSR works by advocating through the media and public meetings and dialogue with policy makers, towards progressive changes in the laws, policies, institutions and social processes which impact on the lives of women, especially poor ones. They also campaign to tackle adverse sex ratio and for the promotion of women’s property rights.
Every third woman is illiterate; 60% of Pakistan women are anemic; women are paid 40-70% less wages; every 4th woman dies during childbirth in Pakistan.
